Madeleine couldnât help coughing fiercely, stared at Ophelia with wide eyes, and said, âDarling, can you not say something so surprising? It will scare me to death.â
Ophelia shrugged and said with a smile, âOkay, how far have you gotten? Honestly answer. Otherwise, we canât be friends anymore.â
Madeleine rolled her eyes, âDarling, why didnât I notice that you are such a gossipy before? Did you hide it too well, or are you diagnosed with schizophrenia today?â
Ophelia blinked her eyes playfully and said with a smile, âIâm always a gossip. It was just that I gossiped about others before.â
After a pause, she changed the subject, âI have made an appointment with Mr. Harrison to meet at six oâclock in the evening. You go with me. I want to talk to him about the termination of the contract. Besides, as your best friend, I have to go see the rumored perfect man Iâve never even met. Iâd like to see which master can make you a careless woman tempted. You can be indifferent to such handsome men as Zachariah and Tassach. Then that man should be pretty good too.â
The meatball in Madeleineâs mouth fell into the plate all at once, and she looked at Ophelia in disbelief.
âDarling, are you kidding me?â
Ophelia shrugged, âHe just gave you a call, and I have agreed on your behalf. He is your boss, so you shouldnât dare to refuse his kindness.â
âDarling, it turns out that you are also scheming.â
Madeleine couldnât help but complain in her heart.
Ophelia said, âWe wonât go shopping in the afternoon. Letâs go out to eat. I also want to see your boss.â
Madeleine said helplessly, âDarling, Mr. Harrison is just my boss, and I am his subordinate. I donât think it is necessary for us to meet him for dinner in private, do I?â
âEven if you donât have any relationship with him, I will talk to him about your work. If he really terminates the contract with you due to the pressure exerted by the Fletcher family, I will talk to him as the daughter-in-law of the Chambers family. I just want him to know clearly that you are not alone.â
Madeleine was moved, âDarling, donât be so sensational. Neither of us likes this. If you let me cry, I will hold you responsible.â
Ophelia put the food on her plate, âEat fast. We will have a square meal in the evening. Itâs rare for someone to stand treat. Weâre gonna enjoy it, arenât we?â
Madeleine thought for a while and finally had to compromise.
âMadeleine, if you really like him, then go after him boldly.â Ophelia made a suggestion, but soon changed her mind, âForget it, wait for him to chase you. His willingness to call you shows that he doesnât just regard you as a colleague. He is a decision maker, and he has a lot of work to do every day. If he doesnât have a little bit of interest in you, he wonât have too much contact with you, a best-selling author.â
âDarling, are you complimenting me or hurting me?â
Ophelia raised her eyebrows, as if to say, âI have said so bluntly. Canât you hear it?â
Madeleine shrugged and compromised, âDarling, if you see him, you will know that he and I are not in the same world. He is the prince who comes out of the comics. He is the perfect model for a girlâs Mr.Right. His appearance, ability, and family background are all very good. I have made some money now, but in the eyes of the rich, Iâm Cinderella. He and I are simply two parallel lines that cannot intersect.â
Ophelia felt pain in her heart. She raised her hand to touch Madeleineâs hair, and said, âWhen did Madeleine I know learn to look down upon herself?
Someone once told me that we rely on our hands to support ourselves. Food, clothing, shelter, and transportation are the best. We create a comfortable nest for ourselves, and others could only look at it with envy. Why should we look down upon ourselves? You, a master of romance, have said this. Did you forget so soon?â
Madeleine slapped her hand away, not knowing whether to cry or to laugh, âDarling, donât be sensational. My adrenaline rose so I blushed and felt tempted, but it was only temporary, okay? Donât worry. I can control my feelings freely. I wonât invest my feelings in the man that I shouldnât take seriously. Iâm not masochistic. I still want to take care of the little baby with you.â
Ophelia just smiled, but she was faintly worried.
If people really had the final say on feelings, then there wouldnât be so many people who were obsessed with love in this world. So many people were hurt by love because they could not help themselves. As they went further and further along this road, it was more difficult for them to extricate from love.
Madeleine looked careless on the surface and always insisted on being single, but she was extremely eager for love. Maybe because she wrote love stories, she must also long for romantic love, but she knew the cruelty of reality. While she fantasized about Mr. Right, she kept it down. These two ideas constantly collided in her mind. When her Mr. Right appeared, it was hard to say what would happen.
At six oâclock in the evening, Ophelia sent Carson the address where she and Madeleine had decided to eat, and soon he replied with only a few words.
âI see. I will be there in half an hour.â
